So...a new story is on the way tonight... · 7:55am Oct 31st, 2015
Yes, yes, I know what I said. I can admit when I'm wrong. I caved and decided to spend the next 24 hours writing that Clock Tower fic I mentioned in the last blog entry. While I did want to put it off, I also couldn't resist the allure of posting a horror-based story on Halloween of all nights. That being said, here's a quick rundown of what I have so far (contains a major spoiler for Friendship Games, so read at your own risk):
-The main character will be Sunset Shimmer in this story, as the protagonist in Clock Tower 3 (the same one this story is based off) has light-based powers, just like Sunset's light form at the end of Friendship Games. While the appeal of using a unicorn with a confirmed mother (Twilight, Sweetie Belle, etc.) seemed enticing at first, I also wanted my next fic to revolve around Sunset Shimmer. Maybe next time, Sweetie.
-The antagonist will be a big bad of my choosing (I've actually already chosen as you'll see in the character tags, so fair bit of warning if you want to keep it a surprise for yourself).
-The male lead doesn't have a set role yet, but that won't be until later on down the road. I can always default to the choice of Flash Sentry, but that just seems half-assed and would feel like there wasn't any real effort put into deciding that role. (Note: I want to avoid using an OC as much as I can. There's quite a handful of male characters to choose from, and I can always R63 one of the Mane Six to take that role, but I'd rather stick to vanilla roles if possible.)
-Clock Tower 3 has an ancient line of female warriors known as the Rooders. However, given that the title sounds more masculine, I've replaced it with a more feminine sounding "Rudella", as is evident from the title of the fic.
-Just like Zone of the Equestrians, this will be a pony-based story, so don't expect any anthros or humans to pop up at any point during the course of the fic (unless, you know, April Fools' Day. Crap, now I can't use that).
Now that that's out of the way, a progress report on the next chapter. Cosmic Defiance chapter four is almost complete, so expect it either this weekend or sometime this following week. Almost 2.8k words and counting! Also, it'd help me quite a bit if word got around about these writings. Cos Def has been stuck at 110 views for the past two weeks. I'll do what I can from my end, but it'd be greatly appreciated if you shared the fic with at least one friend, thank you in advance. ._.
